Mix: Color display, Libraries, Wal-Mart, Colleges

By LC Angell ● Thursday, April 21, 2005

In yet another sign that the iPod photo will soon become the standard iPod model, Apple has renamed the PDF manual for the device to “iPod_with_color_display_User’s_Guide” from “iPod_photoUserGuide”. iLounge has been noting the de-emphasizing of the word “photo” from the product’s name for months. The iPod photo’s packaging was changed in February to reduce “photo” to a small badge, and in March Apple referred to the devices as “iPod with Color Displays” in an iPod Software Update.

It would be nice if other followed Apple’s action toward Wal*Mart. They are growing to be way too big and powerful

Earlier this week at WalMart I saw a large, cardboard “coming soon” sign for the HP-branded iPod. This was in Lewisville, TX.

Linking in to both stories: HP might introduce an “iPod with color display” instead of the HP iPod photo (as they are rumoured to do).

In the Library Journal article, it is mentioned that Baylor Fine Arts Library “creates Notes files for the iPod, listing the names of audio tracks, with clickable links to the appropriate audio track on the iPod.”
How is this done? Where can I read on how to do this?
Thanks.

I wonder if when Apple makes the “color screen” iPod standard they will lower the price.
